You need to know more people, then, particularly ones that aren't as graphically challenged as I. :-) > In my case, I absolutely do not have the ability to learn this... my brain > totally shuts down as soon as image/screen size/density etc. are mentioned. Conversely, the reason I can't give you any more advice is that my brain shuts down with your proposed UI. I just have no idea how you'll ever get that to look good across multiple screen sizes. Any UI design that effectively has to assume certain dimensions scares the heck out of me. > My preferred method of working has always been to build it and make it > work well, then turn it over to someone with some artistic ability and have > them make it look nice :).

Well, it's more that they are a logical set of sizes if they are applied to different densities. I can't tell you what is "right", since that applies aesthetics, and there are hamsters with greater aesthetic sense than I possess. But, they're a good starting point. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
